Term limits(for congress) aren't an issue. It's outright good to have a portion of reps with institutional knowledge on how to run a government, and extremely helpful in diplomacy with other countries as well.

Age limits are the real issue to push, because geriatric fucks being in charge is the real danger.

Everything else, I wholly and completely agree with you on

God that photo goes hard on so many levels

The vast majority of people here are reddit refugees, raised on a website that encourages being a prentious dick(me inclusive, too often, though I'm trying to be better) it's unsurprising they'd take issue with the message

Well over 49% of usa Americans make enough to save a thousand dollars . Many are just that bad at managing money. Part of why pensions are important over 401ks.

All of you idiots who haven’t started their EU paperwork

I don't think it's right to say that staying and fighting back is idiotic. Protecting what's yours is a core to American ideology

Probably a lot more than you'd think. Especially if you take indirect flights. Especially given the large borders, getting put won't be especially hard

Edgy.

Which is also why anyone who says consoles are better is straight clowning tbh

It should be a crime to gather that much data as a private entity

The whole "building a profile to sue people" would bother me a lot less if they weren't stealing from their own workers.

It's been like 2 days 😭

... that's not what I said at all. I specifically said, "hostile foreign power" for a reason.

How is there less risk to Americans on a platform like X(itter) instead of TikTok?

See my statement on how all should be regulated. But the difference is that country can enforce the regulations.

I don't believe any media should be banned. But algorithms should be subject to regulation and worry, in my opinion.

"it's just a game" is a common phrase used to justify cheating, and insult people who call it out. I'm pointing to the usage of "it's just an app" here as similar to that, meaning it's used to downplay how much actual impact an app can have, and to insult those who call it out, by making it out to be a lesser thing than it actually is.

It didn't commit to supporting their workers even on a performative level.

I shop at stores that pay their workers better, like Costco and union shops, when possible

I'm a union rep, I'm already part of the solution .... Doesn't mean I can't still talk shit . I just already boycotted consumerism years ago

Tiktok has a fuck ton of problems. Letting in run free is ridiculous. But all of the major social medias need the hammer brought down on them, they should not be solely targeting tiktok.

Letting a hostile foreign power control a social media site is dangerous. Same reason Europe should ban the American ones, we should ban tiktok

"Just an app" is a statement that ignores reality. Similar to the statement "it's just a game". Apps have real world consequences

It was publicly anti union. They never cared about social causes. They paid workers squat all--diversity in worker suppression.

Caring only that there's a diverse lower class catering to your needs is not actually caring in the first place.

The fact that you thought target was ever the opposite of Walmart in ethics demonstrates you were never paying attention in the first place

So you saw all the private linked sources doing that. And concluded government?

I wouldn't be surprised if some people take acab literally.

A ton of people do. Like it's a common viewpoint. Especially on platforms like this.

People love to ignore shades of gray.

Related to what you said. But I love when British and European people say "oh, sucks how your cops are so racist". When theirs are. Lol
